Alpha Protocol Shows Off Its Dialogue System

It seems Bioware games won't be the only ones on the block with a full fledged dialogue system. Sega and Obsidian's new game, Alpha Protocol, will also allow you to decide what your character does or doesn't say.

Alpha Protocol's Dialogue Stance System, or DSS, looks very familiar to that of Mass Effect but with an added "time bar". There hasn't been too much info released about Alpha Protocol, but comparisons to Mass Effect 1 and 2 are often made.
Once again, We'll have to wait until E3 for more info to come our way.

Fallout New Vegas Will Take Some Time To Finish

Fallout is known for a couple things, the main one being its post-apocalyptic setting, but another is that Fallout never falls short of the lengthy RPG experience. Fallout New Vegas will be no different, today according to Pete Hines, Bethesda’s VP of Marketing and PR, Fallout New Vegas will “take you hundreds of hours to explore every nook and cranny”.

Although unlike the series' previous games, Fallout New Vegas will have more in its nooks and crannies than some dirt/rubble. “Vegas is up and running. It is not a ghost town. It still exists and thrives. There are casinos, and you can go down onto the Strip,” explains Hines.
I had a great deal of fun with Fallout 3, but one of its short comings was that it didn't have enough interesting stuff to interact with. There was a lot of stuff to explore, but rarely would it really interest me. I'm happy to see that New Vegas is taking a little different approach to the Fallout series, and hope that it will become a continuing trend.
